[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Chipp,

If Rev could only be done in this manner, I'd run from it as fast as  
I could. Why do you think I liked HC? I spent years trying out all  
the other languages, from Fortran thru Assembler to VisualBasic and  
FutureBasic. The latter two were acceptably useful, but still not as  
good as HC. Even the Externals written using CompileIt were pretty  
much pure HC, with slight sidesteps; very useful and generated very  
fast code. The only reason I'm not still using HC is the obvious one.  
Apple dropped supporting and extending it to meet the new demands of  
our current systems.

So, I still think, though I'm sure you are right that Dick has done  
and does a remarkable job; it's not my piece of cake. If this is the  
evolving direction of Rev, it is the wrong one. Just MHO.
